Socializing with people at work can be a bit tricky situation. Depending o the business it can lead to all sorts of problems or a supportive close knit team.
I’ve always maintained a certain degree of aloofness with my coworkers. I was friendly with them, but not friends with them. I am friends with a number of my FORMER coworkers, subordinates and bosses.
I didn’t have the option. Either I had to go home and take care of my pets and/or my child, or for several years, my parents at their home, or was also taking extra college classes or working crazy overtime. I did have many lunches with co-workers, even dated one. But generally, I was friendly at work and left when my day was over. Overtime was out of the office except holidays.

I hear that. What the heck are you supposed to do when the bosses wife starts hitting you?

Oh come on now Aunty, a drunk like you doesn’t have time to work, and it is never fun to socialize with someone down on a dirty bar room floor.

I did when I worked, but I don’t have that problem since I retired.

Rule 1: They’re your coworkers, not your friends. Rule 2: When they say they are your friend, watch your back.

Can’t recall ever doing that, even when I worked.

I’ve never really socialized with anyone at work. I was always that weirdo who went to work to work.
